  Now, we are translating "FreeBSD Tutorials" to Japanese.  We use
"sgmlfmt" for building html files from DocBook source.  I tested Jade
for it yesterday.  It might have no problem.  (But according to our
Technical Director Mr. Hanai, "rtf" rendering of Jade have some problems
about treating 8-bit characters.)

  Sorry, I cannot understand this question (my English skill is very
poor...).  But technically (such as tags), we can apply English changes
to Japanese version easily now.

  I am using these components for testing Jade.

  o Jade 1.0.1
  o DocBook 3.0
  o iso8879-1986
  o Norman Walsh's DSSSL stylesheets for the DocBook DTD

  Do you have any stylesheets for FreeBSD Handbook, FAQ, Tutorials?  I
think Norman's stylesheets need more (and more) modifications to use for
Handbook, etc.
